792-10 Power Module
The 792-10 is a multipurpose device designed for use in the
following applications:
1. As an output amplifier and power source to convert
Xantech 3-wire IR Receivers to 2-wire PHANTOM
POWER operation.
2. As an output amplifier for any Xantech IR Receiver or
Controller to drive large numbers of emitters when
plugged into one or more 790-00 passive Connecting
Blocks.
FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
• Phantom Power and/or Current booster modes.
• Phantom mode powers the 291-10, 480-00, 490 and 780-10 series IR receivers for 2-wire operation.
• Screw terminals provide for wired input connections.
• 3.5 mm mono mini jack emitter IR OUT port.
• Low current mode drives up to 4 emitters in series.
• High current mode drives up to 100 emitters in parallel through 790-00 Connecting Blocks.
• Maximum peak output current - Low Current mode: 100 mA.
• Maximum peak output current - High Current mode: 1 A.
• 2.1mm coaxial DC power jack (+12V).
• Requires a 781RG or a 782-00 power supply.
• Dimensions: 3-5/8" L x 1-5/8" W x 1" D.
GENERAL
The input and output parameters for setting Normal 3-wire, Phantom 2-wire and Output Current modes are
configured by setting the DIP switches. These switches are accessible through the slot in the case.
• In the Normal 3-Wire mode, +12V is applied to Xantech IR Receivers and Keypads on a third wire in the
same manner as on Xantech Connecting Blocks.
• In the Phantom 2-Wire mode, +12V is applied to the IR Receivers on the same wire that carries the IR
control signal.
PLEASE NOTE:
The Xantech Smart Pads and the CFL Friendly IR receivers, will not operate with
the 2-wire Phantom Power connection!
• In the Low Current mode, the 792-10 IR OUT jack will drive a single or dual emitter or connecting blocks
in the same manner as an IR receiver.
• In the High Current mode the 792-10 IR OUT jack will drive up to 10 Model 790-00 Connecting Blocks,
each having up to ten emitters connected to it.
CAUTION:
Do not plug single or dual emitters into the IR OUT jack when the 792-10 dip switches
are set to the High Current mode. To do so will destroy emitters!
